Strawberry Shortcake: Happily Ever After
Younger Sister:
Strawberry Shortcake: Happily Ever After is a very interesting movie. I like it because it's exciting and you don't know what's going to happen next. It's in two parts. The first part is about Strawberry Shortcake telling her friends a story of forgiving your friend's mistakes and listening. In her story, the Berry Kingdom is a place of sweets that are made into buildings, like ice-cream cones for rooms. The place looked very sweet and nice. I like that in the first part of the movie, the badguy, Brambleberry, is a good badguy. Brambleberry is a mean fairy that lives in a house that is surrounded by thorny brambleberry bushes. She was so angry because she thought the fairies didn't invite her, because they didn't like her, she cast a spell on the baby princess Strawberry Rose. I like the song that they sing with baby Strawberry Rose. And I like baby Strawberry Rose looks, because she looks very cute. In the second part, it's about a princess named Rap. She wants to be herself, but her royal parents want her to act like how they think a princess should act. And she has to stop doing all the things she likes to do. I like the singing, because it talks about how it's good to be yourself. And also I like how they made her dress all puffy and rainbow colored. I don't like how tight Strawberry Mint's dress. And I don't like how Sir Huckleberry's shoes are so flat and look like ballet shoes. I think people should buy it because it has very good lessons in it that people should know. And also it's funny, so that you don't get bored.
Older Brother:
Super annoying songs and not the best voice acting. Really out of my age-range, talk about "pretty on the inside and pretty on the outside" in song. Aargh! Well, I guess it's good for younger kids...more geared towards girls, though. If you've got a 3-8 year old girl in the house, buy the movie.

The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins)
Older Brother:
One day I got an e-mail from one of my friends telling me that I must read this book. My life depends on it. So, scare out of my mind that I would die if I don't read it, I snatched it up desperately. And I didn't put it down. Not out of fright, but I was glued to the plot. An interesting story, about a girl named Katniss Everdeen, living in a future dystopia society, finds herself in a colloseum-survivor combination reality TV show called The Hunger Games. 24 four kids (12 boys 12 girls between age 12-18), called tributes, 2 from each of the twelve states, must fight each other to the death until the last tribute is standing. They're thrown into a place called the "arena," a vast outdoor area where they'll live for a few weeks. Oh yeah: it's also a mix of Man Vs. Wild, too. They have to live off of the wild, hunting and gathering and buildings fires and shelters. The pace is set just a little too fast for me, with too many kills at a time. It doesn't stretch the book out that much. Half of it itself is talking about the pre-games, interviews, dressing, stuff like that. It's very girl-friendly, with a love triangle with the Katniss in the middle, but the boys, and I know this well because I am one, will like the action. A little too much fashion show for my taste in the beginning. They have this mellow-toned guy named Cinna as their stylist and everything just to get a good impression with the audience. A warning, though: This book is definitely not for the faint of heart. There are a lot of gory descriptions and deaths, and the whole concept is just plain cruel. But if you want a action-packed, gloomy, and addictive book to add to your shelves, this is a definite pick.

A Little Bit About Ourselves
Hey.
Ok, that's a weak way to introduce myself, but I can't think of anything else. I am The Traveler, A.K.A. the awesome kid with the blog about him traveling the world with his family. I use The Traveler, most of the time. It's shorter. Well, anyway, lemme get to the point: I am like you. I like movies. Like you. I like to listen to I Gotta Feeling, even though it was made last year. Like you. I like to snatch up the latest installment to The Inheritnce Series and read till the cows come home. Like you. And I like to have ketchup on my hot dogs. Ok, maybe that's where we draw the line. But what I'm trying to say is, I like movies, songs, and books, but how can you tell the crappy ones from the glorious prodigys? READ THIS BLOG. THAT'S HOW. Me, my sisters, and maybe perhaps sometimes my parents will read a book, watch a movie, or listen to a song, and put out their honest opinion on this blog. We'll have at the least two views on almost every review subject: Older Brother and Younger Sisters. This way, kids around my age should probably steer clear from Strawberry Shortcake, while the 7 yrs olds will see that they'll love it. At least the girl ones. But anyway, each review will be fair, sweet, and detailed, but will not have spoilers, so if you want that, GO AWAY. Got it? And if you have any questions about our review subjects, comment and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Now lemme warn you: this isn't going to be an everyday post sort of thing. I don't know about you, but I don't read a book, movie, or song every single day of the week. And each one different. So, you might not hear from us for weeks, maybe even a month. It takes a while to read a book, and MUCH longer to convince your parents to buy Avatar on DVD. Which means when you can come and check. Well, it's really late, and I've told you about how this site works, so
